Example for Configuring Local Proxy ARP
This section provides an example for configuring local proxy ARP to allow two isolated member interfaces in a BD to intercommunicate in an EVC scenario.
Networking Requirements
In the EVC model, after receiving packets, the member interfaces of a BD broadcast these packets in the BD. To reduce broadcast operations, network administrators usually configure split horizon on the member interfaces that do not need to intercommunicate to isolate these member interfaces.
As shown in Figure 2-5, network administrators have configured split horizon on PEs to isolate Host A and Host B. As user services develop, however, Host A and Host B need to intercommunicate some day. To resolve this problem, network administrators need to enable local proxy ARP on VBDIF interfaces to allow Host A and Host B to intercommunicate.
Precautions
After local proxy ARP is enabled, all users in the BD can intercommunicate. To allow only specific users in a BD to intercommunicate, running the undo split-horizon enable command on these member interfaces that need intercommunicate to disable split horizon is recommended.
Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
Configure Layer 2 forwarding on the CE.
- Create a VLAN on the CE and add the downstream interface of the CE to the VLAN.
- Configure Layer 2 forwarding on the CE so that the CE send single-tagged packets to the PE.
- Create an EVC model on the PE.
- Configure a BD to forward services.
- Create a Layer 2 sub-interface, add it to the BD, and configure traffic encapsulation on the downstream interface to ensure that services access the service access point.
- Configure split horizon in the BD to isolate Host A and Host B.
- Configure local proxy ARP on the PE.
- Create a VBDIF interface and assign an IP address to it.
- Enable local proxy ARP to allow Host A and Host B to intercommunicate.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
- User VLAN ID
- Number of interfaces that connect the CEs and connect the CE to PE
- BD ID, traffic encapsulation type, and traffic behavior
- VBDIF interface number and IP address
Procedure
- Configure Layer 2 forwarding on the CE.
